5 QUOTES WITH «DISINCENTIVE»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word disincentive.
1
Marc Faber
The problem with Mr. Obama is that you get more regulation and it's a disincentive for businessmen to hire people. You probably also get higher taxes, so in terms of the economy, he is very negative in my view.
2
Zac Goldsmith
Politicians usually get the blame for dragging their feet on environmental issues. And fair enough. Most of them do just that. But the blame isn't theirs alone. For politicians afraid of losing votes, a bristling media waiting to transform good green ideas into monsters is a colossal disincentive.
3
Travis Kalanick
The regulatory systems in place disincentive innovation. It's intense to fight the red tape.
4
Heather Mills
My personal view is that until there is a disincentive to write lies and abusive comments it's going to continue.
5
Thomas Perez
I've heard the argument that unemployment benefits somehow act as a disincentive to the long-term unemployed when it comes to looking for work, but the opposite is true. Unemployment Insurance serves as a powerful incentive for people to keep searching for jobs, rather than drop out of the labor force altogether.
